🔥 Lazy to click "Turn On"? Don't click anymore!

You know the drill: you fill the furnace, press Turn On, it smelts everything, shuts down… then you add more ore and have to press Turn On again. And again. And again.

AutoFurnace fixes that. Press Turn On once, and from that moment your furnace relights itself automatically every time it has something to process.

✨ How it works

• Turn On → the furnace starts as usual and switches to auto mode. When it runs out of ore it goes idle, and as soon as you add more ore it starts again by itself.
• Turn Off → the furnace stops and auto mode is disabled. Back to vanilla behaviour.
• A short chat message confirms when auto mode is enabled or disabled.
• The setting is saved per furnace: it survives restarts, relogs and unloaded chunks.

No new buttons, no commands, no config. Just use the furnace the way you always have.

✅ Smart, not wasteful

The furnace only relights when it can actually work: there's input to process, fuel in the fuel slot, and room in the output. It never burns fuel for nothing, and it still shuts down normally when the job is done.

🔧 Compatibility

• Works with the furnace and every fuel-based processing bench.
• Server-side only: players don't need to install anything. Works in single player and on dedicated servers.
• No changes to items, recipes or world data apart from a small per-furnace flag.

📝 Notes

• Put fuel in the furnace before pressing Turn On. Without fuel the game won't turn it on, so auto mode can't start.
• Why not a separate "Auto" button? The furnace window is drawn by the game client, and server mods can't add buttons to it (yet!). So AutoFurnace teaches the existing button a new trick instead.

📦 Installation

• Single player: install it from CurseForge or the in-game mod browser, then enable it in your world's Mods settings.
• Dedicated server: drop the .jar into the server's mods/ folder and restart.

Enjoy your hands-free smelting! 🔥
